Obscura Day 2010
Obscura Day (March 20th) is your chance to have a calm and different kind of visit - just before the Bloomfield Science Museum will be packed with Pesach visitors. At the end of April, two of our exhibitions will be dismantled in preparation for a new one so this is your last opportunity to visit them.
Throughout the day we will run a game called "find the exhibit". You will receive photos of exhibits , taken from unusual angels, and will be asked to find the exhibit in the museum. On the way, you will discover new corners at the museum. You are warned - it will not be easy but it will be great fun.
Can you itentify this exhibit?
12:00 - a guided tour to the back stage of the museum that is usually close to the public - showing the museum workshop where exhibits are built, the storerooms, telling about the history of exhibitions and telling about our favorite exhibits.
On 13:00 - a guided tour to the Einstein exhibition. The exhibition will be dismantled at the end of April so this is your last chance to visit it.
On 14:00 - a guided tour to the Brain research exhibition. The exhibition will be dismantled at the end of April so this is your last chance to visit it.
